What is MeterNet SimpleBox and how does it work?

Simply. It works simply.
A small black box enables the home television to get online. But we limit its functions to simple web surfing, webmail and secure online shopping to insure a simple experience for first time users.

You preconfigure the ISP dial up number and your ISP home page. Getting Online is a snap: Users connect our entry level wb6440 series to the television with a simple vcr-like connector, then plug the power cord into the wall and the phone line into any standard phone jack. Turn on the TV and selecting the power switch will automatically dial the device online in seconds, on the way to your ISP home page.

Ideal for Late Adopters, but Anyone can use it!

My name is Greg Wible from MeterNet Corporaton.
Every day at the office I use a typical windows personal computer. Most every night at home, over the last six + years, I leave the PC off and use my SimpleBox wb6440 device hooked to the bedroom TV to check my email, local weather and international headlines. Its great!

ISPs can make over $10 per subscriber per month with SimpleBox devices...every month!

Why SimpleBox Devices when PC prices keep dropping?

Face it---Computers are intimidating, thats why over half of the US market STILL do not have a computer and most of those have no plans to buy one. However, many of these "late adopters" would really like to have an email address and discover the internet email and online shopping. You can target and reach this untapped Internet Service market in 2005 by offering these non-pc users SimpleBox Devices bundled with your dial-up access service.

Here's 7 effective tips to help get started:

1. Target the Living Room & Bed Room TV

Forget the Kitchen - Internet Devices with integrated flat panel screens are neat gadgets but way too expensive...recent device company flame-outs prove the kitchen is not the ideal target for devices. Go instead with a stable, solid state set top device targeted for the "late adopter" Living Room & Bed Room leverage the over 300 million TV installed base in US.

2. Pull thru new 'late adopter' sign-ups from current computer users

How many of your current friends have grandparents with no computer who long for their own email? Leverage your current circle around town to bring new "late adopter" customers.

3. Web-based email is the killer app

... with secure online commerce ( tickets / flowers / prescriptions ) growing fast. EMAIL is the primary use of SimpleBox, with Internet searching and ecommmerce also very popular.

4. Hold a regular "Intro to Internet" class on Saturday mornings that targets non-computer users.

Spend one hour to demo your new internet device to a small class of newbies. Be sure to have on-site device sales, email and service signups. Explore to offer your Intro to Internet Class to Church and Civic Group meetings.

5. Adopt the 'mobile phone model' part 1:
preconfiguration works!

No need to reinvent the wheel...study the mobile phone business: EVERY phone sold is preconfigured and the user cannot change their provider. Use the same strategy with your Simple Devices...once preconfigured, promote easy set up and autodial operation. SipleBox is easy to pre-configure and secure to protect access settings.

6. Adopt the 'mobile phone model' part 2:
subsidize the device

Rebates and bounties with service term agreements work for the mobile phone market...test different offers (simple device + service) in your channel with 'limited time' campaigns. National ISPs are paying average $100 rebates for one year signups. Consider to offer optional in-home installation and training to increase revenues.

7. Tailor your ISP Home Page for Simple Devices

Have you ever viewed your ISP Home Page on a Television? HTML display on TVs is a whole different ball game than on computer screens. We can create a tailored version of your ISP Home Page for Simplebox Devices. Maximum 540 pixels in width...Simple text based layout works better on darker backgrounds...the page you are now reading is optimized for TV display....Yahoo is the benchmark site as it is built to the lowest common denominator layout and browser display to attract the largest possible audience.
